Time is running out to get your tickets to the Detroit Free Press Wine & Food Experience on Sept. 15.

The event offers an afternoon of food sampling, wine tasting and celebrity chefs – all in downtown Detroit's Campus Martius.

The only thing you need to bring is your appetite. The Free Press Wine & Food Experience, sponsored by Martha Stewart and presented by Bedrock, brings together all the cool culinary things happening downtown and in the metro area.

• Also on the Culinary Stage, you can see a cooking demonstration from Chef Thomas Lents of Chef's Table at Detroit Foundation Hotel, the Detroit Free Press' 2018 Restaurant of the Year, and a fish butchering and preparation demo from Chef James Rigato of Mabel Gray Kitchen and Chef Doug Hewitt of Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails. (Mable Gray and Chartreuse were, respectively, the Free Press' 2017 and 2016 Restaurant of the Year)

• You can take a stroll through the Martha Stewart Experience which provides a glimpse of the lifestyle guru’s cookbooks and home and kitchen products.

• Grateful Ventures brings their tastes for food and cooking with the Grateful House, where there will be interactive cooking demonstrations and a chance to meet hip-hop artist Sincerely Collins. Collins will offer guests tips on vegan cooking and meditation. There, you'll also learn to make salsa from the folks at El Asador Steakhouse in southwest Detroit and try your hand at doughnut decorating with Detroit's Holy Moly Donut Shop.
